Ah, I see what you mean now. D has that:

http://dlang.org/phobos/std_typecons.html#.Unique
http://dlang.org/phobos/std_typecons.html#.RefCounted

But they probably need some decent updating for use with @nogc 
and more modern D style, though.

Also the Unique pointer also works with std.algorithm.move (in 
addition to its "release" method which could be deprecated, I 
think... not sure why it needs it when we have 
std.algorithm.move).
